Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 21 ACMG points: 21P and 0B. PS1_Very_Strong PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_000277.3(PAH):​c.870T>A​(p.His290Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely pathogenic in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H290Y) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

PAH (HGNC:8582): (phenylalanine hydroxylase) This gene encodes a member of the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase protein family. The encoded phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme hydroxylates phenylalanine to tyrosine and is the rate-limiting step in phenylalanine catabolism. Deficiency of this enzyme activity results in the autosomal recessive disorder phenylketonuria. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 21 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_000277.3 (PAH) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in ClinVar.
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 17 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 8 uncertain in NM_000277.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr12-102851731-G-A is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 805807.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 440 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 8 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: -0.64755 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -0.0084567 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to phenylketonuria, tetrahydrobiopterin-responsive hyperphenylalaninemia/phenylketonuria, maternal phenylketonuria, classic phenylketonuria, mild phenylketonuria, mild hyperphenylalaninemia.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.995
• PP5: Variant 12-102851729-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-102851729-A-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 2036025.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.His290 amino acid residue in PAH. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22526846, 26210745, 26666653; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PAH protein function. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency (PMID: 26210745). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 290 of the PAH protein (p.His290Gln).
